Re: Norfolk (Norfolkshire?) Diggins

I have just been browsing through the Diggins forum because just this week I found a Diggins in my family tree.I don't know much about the family as yet, but this is what I have.Thre is John Diggons who married Susan (both born circa 1750 in Rockland, Norfolk.They had a daughter Deborah which is my ancestor.I have also found the baptism of another daughter, Elizabeth, in 1766 in Rockland (parish of St Mary).It may be that further information may reveal a connection to your Norfolk Diggins/Diggons.I will let you have any relevant information I come across if you will do likewise.

Incidentally, it seems to be an American habit to add "shire" to all our county names.
